As a strategic consultant, I work across five service areas, each with its own focus. All connected by the same goal: building a market position your organization can own.
I work with you on the fundamentals: defining where your organization stands, what it stands for, and where it's headed. This means sharpening purpose and market positioning, creating the clarity stakeholders can align around, and assessing growth or partnership opportunities. All through a lens of how you're perceived and trusted by the people who matter.
I help you shape your brand: the strategy, architecture, and creative direction that drive how stakeholders perceive and engage with your organization. And I help you establish brand as a management discipline: a framework that guides decisions, behavior, and alignment across your organization, with the governance and measurement to make it last.
I help you build communication approaches that support business strategy and create stakeholder trust. This spans developing communication strategy and compelling narratives, planning how you engage across audiences, and managing programs that maintain consistency, through to measuring what resonates with the people you're trying to reach.
I work with you to guide your organization through strategic change: from vision to implementation that sticks. This includes complex transformations, multi-stakeholder programs, cross-functional collaboration, and getting stalled initiatives moving again. We build the structures, alignment, and capabilities your teams need to sustain change.
I help you turn AI from a strategic question into a practical capability. This means identifying where AI creates genuine value in your specific context, shaping the right workflows and conditions, and embedding it where it actually matters: in how your teams work, communicate, and make decisions.
I'm Sebastian. I understand both the strategic picture and what it takes to make things happen in practice. That perspective comes from over 15 years in consulting, working at every level: from hands-on project delivery to leading teams as Managing Director at a boutique consultancy. My clients have ranged from ambitious mid-market companies to global enterprises with 100,000+ employees.
I've worked across automotive, chemicals and materials, consumer goods, financial services, logistics, manufacturing, retail, technology, and more. I enjoy understanding what makes different industries tick, then applying that cross-sector perspective to new contexts.
I'm based in Berlin, with experience across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, working in German, English, and Spanish.

Great strategy needs great execution. I help you get both right: building strategies designed for action, then ensuring they succeed.
The best solutions combine inside knowledge with outside perspective. I build on your organization's expertise. Together, we develop outcomes you and your team own.
Multi-stakeholder environments, competing priorities, organizational politics: I've worked through it all and can help you navigate complexity efficiently.
My approach is adaptive and builds around your reality. No rigid frameworks or off-the-shelf playbooks, just methodology that adapts to your organization's pace and constraints.
